International Business Communications
Question Description
You are preparing for business negotiations with potential partners from Mexico, China, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). You understand that these cultures are vastly different. They have different business customs, social protocols, and languages. However, they also have a strong relationship with several of your vendors so they may be viable business partners for your hamburger franchise expansion project.
First, construct a general business letter you would use to introduce your company and propose the possibility of a meeting to discuss your hamburger franchise. Once this letter is complete, revise the general letter into four separate versions, one to each senior leader noted below (4 letters). As this is your first outreach effort with each country, pay special attention to and account for the varied cultural nuances, Hofstede’s criteria, and contextual language differences in your writing. Each letter should range from 500-700 words.
Address the recipients as follows:
China- Mr. Xiang Fu Liu
Chief Business Officer
Shaoling Enterprise
Shanghai, China
Israel- Ms. Shapuria Shabazi
Chief Executive
Aslaam United Industry
Tel Aviv, Israel
UAE- Your Highness Shiek Abdul Omar
Ruling Secretary General
Emirates United Companies
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Mexico- Mr. Fernando Lopez
Chief Executive Officer
Tropical Paradise Businesses
Mexico City, Mexico
Once you have constructed all five letters, collate them onto one word document and submit as your Phase 2 Individual Project.
